Read the article VERY carefully. You'll discover very easily who is behind
this latest "push polling".

Its' not the first time
lobbyists for cheap labor have used push polling - and it probably won't be
the last.

Suggestion: do your own "polling" go to virtually
any website that allows citizens to comment on illegal alien trespassers. Count
the number who don't accept the idea of illegal trespassers - then (if you
can find any) count the ones who do.

Why can't ALL the lobbyists
for cheap labor just DROP IT; and pay their employees a decent wage? Stop
lying.

A TIPP poll, says 59 percent of voters who are closely following the border
surge agree that "current administration policies and lack of focus on
securing the border" are behind the crisis. One-third of political
independents and Hispanics “strongly” blame the president. Six in 10
respondents say that unaccompanied alien children should be ordered to leave the
country.

A new ËCNN/ORC International survey found that 62% of
Americans say border security should be the main focus of U.S. immigration
policy, while only 36% say a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens should be
the top priority.

A new CNN Poll found that 61% of Americans
disapprove of the administration's handling of illegal immigration.

Gallop poll finds 65% disapprove of the way Obama is handling
immigration. 75% also want legal immigration numbers to stay the same, or be
decreased.

Earlier this week, Mexican President Enrique Peña
Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference
to formally announce a new program that will allow Guatemalan citizens to
legally travel through Mexico in their effort to enter the United States
illegally.

The worst thing we could do is pass reform with a
President that refuses to enforce our laws.

I will agree that there is potentially a need to reform our current Immigration
Laws. 1. We need to make it possible to deport these people as soon as
they are identified as being here without any legal paperwork granting them
permission to be here.2. We also need to increase the fine for hiring them
to $10,000 per person

This is simple. Charge every undocumented immigrant $3,000 to $5,000 each,
secure the border, and get rid of Obama care, thus dis incentivizing coming here
for free health care, and problem is solved. Oh, I forget, this is congress and
the President we are talking about!

Saying 91 percent want a change is not saying that 91 percent want to allow
illegal immigrants to stay. My guess is 1/2 or more want stricter immigration
laws or enforcement of the laws we have. The immigration system is broken
because the President and the president before him have refused to enforce the
law.

Why? What changed? What is it that makes it so imperative that we 'act
now' on immigration? And by the way, what does 'act now' entail?
My idea of acting now means putting an absolute stop to anyone hopping the
boarder. There is a good reason for a national border. Until someone has a
specific plan for stopping the flow, I don't want any talk of amnesty.

There is an old saying that charity begins at home. We have a lot of unemployed
and underemployed citizens who need the work being given to illegal aliens.
Those who favor de facto open borders should sponsor one of these illegal aliens
and assist them on the road to citizenship.

I auggest the people
without proper entry documents be denied entry and let Mexico care for them.
Mexico is not a poor country overall, but it lets these people cross their
southern frontier and are therefore responsible and should be held
accountable.

Folks, we can't cure the whole world, we need to
focus on our citizens and their legitimate needs first.

These people
will be a drain on us for at least one to three generations. Public health-wise
this is a disaster waiting to happen as many have been exposed to serious
communicable diseases and need screening to prevent outbreaks.

It's a tough world out there. If you want to ameliorate the poor
conditions, organize a plan or join a program and pony up some of your money to
support the cause.

The problem is that our
laws are not being enforced now, and we can be certain the Obama administration
will not enforce the new laws either.

There certainly are changes
needed, but not the ones the amnesty advocates and liberal Democrats seek.

We need to repeal the "anchor baby" provisions. Repeal the
multiple appeal process prior to deportation. Enhance the penalties for hiring
illegals. Allow instant deportation for any illegal alien found within 25 miles
of the border without any "due process" rights. Deny federal funding to
any city that is a "sanctuary city" that refuses to enforce immigration
laws. Prohibit any "refundable tax credits" to anyone not a U.S.
citizen. End "chain migration" to unite families.

And, we
need to enforce border security by whatever means necessary to stop people
crossing into the United States illegally.

Legal immigrants are
welcome, but illegal are not.

Rigged polls to produce the desired
results to create news stories are not journalism, but propaganda.

1) Enforce current laws and secure our
borders.2) Ship any and all who enter the country illegally back to their
country of origin, and take the costs out of the foreign aid that we provide to
their country.3) Create a work visa that brings those who LEGALLY come
here can use to work in this country. Base the number of visa's issued on
the number of workers needed and justified by an independent panel, and
institute a lottery system by class of workers needed to determine who is given
the visas. Limit to 3-5 years, and allow them to re-enter the lottery when
their visa expires.4) Tax the employer and employee of those with work
visas to cover the full cost of their being here, including emergency medical,
processing costs, and their fair share of the cost of maintaining police, fire,
etc.5) Citizenship should remain difficult to obtain. Allow for
moderately more liberal "resident" status, but this would not include
the right to vote.6) Grant citizenship to newborns ONLY if their mother is
a U.S. citizen. Otherwise the child could obtain only the status of the mother.

A great strategy on the part of those within our government who are charged with
executing our laws: Don't enforce the existing law...so that folks will
think there are no laws or that the laws don't work. Then moan and groan
because the legislative law makers don't change the laws to something the
executors would rather enforce. It's called "tantrum" politics.
We've seen it before. We'll no doubt see it again. I just wish we
weren't seeing it this time...for the sake of all these misplaced, mistaken
immigrants.

The commentary of on this article reveals that a very small percentage of
readers actually understand U.S. immigration law and its procedures, and what
the president can and cannot do. I am astonished that so many think that
President Obama is not enforcing U.S. immigration laws. What, I must ask,
exactly do the people who say this think the federal employees working for the
Department of Homeland Security's CBP, ICE, and other organizations do with
their time, since they're apparently not enforcing federal law? Can the
astute readers point out exactly what laws are not being enforced? Do these
commentators have evidence or proof that the Obama administration has stopped
deporting illegal immigrants, other than the bluster of political talking heads?
Since when does the Affordable Health Care act grant free healthcare to illegal
aliens? Did you know that many illegal aliens have been receiving free health
care for decades because they cannot pay and that cost is passed onto the tax
payer?

Very few of you know little, if anything, about U.S.
immigration law beyond the inaccurate rhetoric of the Right. Please educate
yourselves before repeating, and thereby perpetuating, popular falicies.

Reform? How about just enforcing the law and send a message that if you are
caught here out of status you are immediately and without any phony hearings
deported. These illegals have some form of a carrot dangling and always know
that weak kneed politicians will give them a pass. These polls are phony just
ask do you favor amnesty in any form and the result will be different.

No nation can long survive without enforcing its laws and borders. Illegal
immigration threatens the health, economy and sovereignty of our Nation. Illegal
immigration is an affront to legal immigration. In Colorado an investigation by
the Secretary of State's office was found that thousands of illegal
immigrants attempted to vote and some of them succeeded. Our jails are full of
illegals so much so that courts now need to address at trial the immigration
consequences of any plea and failure to do so may result in reversal. Really?
From the perspective of the average citizen this should not even be an issue.
You commit a crime while a guest here, you are sent home, period. They should
all be sent home anyway.

It doesn't surprise me that such a high percentage say they want
'immigration reform' especially when one considers the recent invasion
of illegals that keep coming across our southern border. Most people who are
paying attention to what is happening realize that something has to be done.

All the talk about liberalizing our immigration laws and giving a
pathway to citizenship, along with a president that has relaxed existing laws,
is very likely the cause of the southern border invasion. These things open the
door to the 'milk and honey' temptations that people of the third
worlds see.

The sad thing is that so many of our citizen, church and
business leaders have supported this travesty.

Is it any wonder that
such a high percentage of those polled say that we need reform?

One
only needs to read the comments on this article to get a truer poll.

rphWhy don't you educate yourself by listening to the people who work
on the border and what they say. They will tell you that the Obama
administration has tied their hands to turn back these illegals. Remember when
during Bush, ICE went after illegals who were working in the country. Bush told
them to stop. When the minutemen went down to light up the border, Bush called
them vigilanties. Don't even go there with trying to imply that both Bush
and Obama have not been open border guys and ignored the written law.
That's why we have this problem. No real obeying of the law by the
previous administrations. You'd better do like Obama should have done and
get out of that tax payer funded bubble you live in in Arlington and see
what's happening in the real world.

rph, while I appreciate what you are attempting to suggest, what people mean by
"enforce the law" is to apply the penalties for unlawfully entering the
country, deport people who do not belong here and generally act to secure the
borders against continued abuse by non-citizens. Also, as a citizen I note that
I don't want to support the costs of health care for non-citizens who are
here illegally. The law and enforcement provisions are found in U.S.C. and the
C.F.R. Surely you don't suggest that illegally entering the country is not
something a sovereign nation has a right to prevent. Prevention and expulsion is
what is meant by "enforce the law."
